For the first time in almost 20 years, the Syracuse University Orange will wear blue uniforms for today's game at Notre Dame.

The uniforms, designed by Nike as part of its System of Dress line, feature "Orange'' on the chest with silver numbers outlined in orange trim. The shorts have orange, white, silver and blue blocks down the side with the player's number at the bottom of the short on the side.

The last time Syracuse wore blue uniforms was on Feb. 28, 1988 at Kentucky. Syracuse lost that game 62-58 and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim vowed never to wear blue uniforms again.
